A Tailor-Made Bride

When a dressmaker who values beauty tangles with a liveryman who condemns vanity, the sparks begin to fly!

Jericho "J.T." Tucker wants nothing to do with Coventry, Texas's new dressmaker. He's all too familiar with her kind--shallow women more devoted to fashion than true beauty. Yet, except for her well-tailored clothing, this seamstress is not at all what he expected.

Hannah Richards is confounded by the man who runs the livery. The unsmiling fellow riles her with his arrogant assumptions and gruff manner while at the same time stirring her heart with unexpected acts of kindness. Which side of Jericho Tucker reflects the real man?

When Hannah decides to help Jericho's sister catch a beau--leading to uproarious consequences for the whole town--will Jericho and Hannah find a way to bridge the gap between them?

My Review:  I always enjoy fiction when the main character is a strong successful woman and this book is no exception.  I was cheering for Hannah as she set out to establish her dressmaking business in a new town, despite the complications that arose along the way.  The dynamics between the characters was also very entertaining.  This book was fairly predictable but in a good way, and I am looking forward to more books by Karen Witemeyer as this was her first novel.
